In Petersburg, May 28th, Mrs. Azuba Matteson, wife of Luman Matteson, in the 46th year of her age. Sister Matteson made a profession of religion and connected herself with the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Petersburg in early life. She was distinguished by a uniform piety which shone in all the walks of life with a steady but increasing lustre, even to the end of her pilgrimage on earth. She was afflicted with a complication of diseases, which occasioned her much suffering all of which she endured with Christian fortitude and resignation. Although she had been sick for some length of time, still her death was sudden and unexpected. When apprized of her approaching dissolution, she was calm and resigned to the Divine Will, and having conversed with different members of the family, and imparted her dying counsel to her weeping children, she quietly fell asleep in Jesus, with a full assurance of a blessed immortality. A. E.
